[Sanskrit] | '''''Siddhis''''' [Sanskrit, roughly translated as “perfect abilities”] and '''''vibhutis''''' [Sanskrit, literally “revelations, powers”]: supernatural powers acquired through the practice of [[yoga]]. These include clairaudience, clairvoyance, the ability to read thoughts, [[levitation]], supremacy over the body and mind, knowledge of a previous birth, dominion over the elements, vision of perfected beings, and the power of making oneself invisible. The supreme ''siddhi'' is enlightenment. | ||

Thus, seek to be one with avatara, incarnation of God, and then know that thy God in thee is the All-Power, as Above and below.<ref>{{POWref|30|57|, November 26, 1987}}</ref></blockquote> | <blockquote>Some who have come out of the East unto the West showing physical prowess and the siddhis have not yet internalized the living Word who is the [[Universal Christ]].
